(a)
In order to estimate the thermal expansion of a metal, measurements of the
change of length for a known change of temperature are taken by a group of
students. A sample random of size 36 is drawn with mean of
15.32 x 10-4 m °C-1 and a standard deviation of 0.12 x 10-4 m °C-¹.
Determine the 99% confidence interval for population mean of the thermal
expansion, correct to two decimal places.
